Course summary

The Graduate Diploma in Gender Studies focuses on the way in which gender shapes/is shaped by society and explores how gender and inequality are intertwined. The programme is a rigorous, interdisciplinary and dynamic programme of learning in feminisms, sexualities, masculinities, gender debates, politics and activisms. A global, decolonial and intersectional perspective informs the programme, offering a complex understanding of how oppression and discrimination operate across society, politics and the economy.
